Trust

Agad napapitik ang aking kilay pataas nang marinig ang mga salitang labas mula sa kaniyang bibig. I let go of the cold metal handle of the glass door and immediately turned my head to his direction.

The overwhelming emotion and feelings deep inside of me ignited like an erupting volcano that is ready to burst out some magma. I also felt my heart clenched by the mention of his words.

"Are you telling me that you're doubting if this is really your child?!" iritado 'kong tanong rito.

"You can't blame me, Imo. I'm just making sure," kalmado nitong sagot.

A scoff immediately left my mouth when I heard his response. I walked towards his direction, the loud thud of my black heels echoing inside the room. I stopped right when I was in front of his desk.

"Are you saying that I slept with another man in the past few months?" muli 'kong tanong rito. I tried my best to control the tone of my voice to sound as calm as I still can.

"Again, I'm just making sure of it," ulit nito. "I've experienced this scene butt loads of times already. And, all of them turned out to be lying about it. I just need proof," pagpapaliwanag pa nito.

Mas lalo akong nagulat sa kasunod nitong sinabi. Without even fully thinking about it, my right hand immediately slapped hard on his desk. It made a loud bang as I leaned away from him.

"I am not them, Andre!" sigaw ko rito. I raised my hand up to my hair as I swept it backwards using my fingers. "Don't compare me to other girls who wanted nothing but to be with you! Desperate enough to even lie about a fucking pregnancy!"

Unti-unting naninikip ang aking dibdib habang patuloy ang pagtaas baba nito dahil sa nag-uumapaw na inis sa aking kaloob-looban.

"Have you even asked me if I wanted this?! No, I do not and would have never wanted to be pregnant by my fuck buddy!" I shouted as I firmly pointed my finger at him. Unti-unti ko nang nararamdaman ang pamumuo ng luha sa aking mga mata. My eyes were slowly getting heated as my vision slowly gets clouded and blurred by the tears. Kasabay na rin nito ang pagbara ng aking lalamunan na tila ba pumipigil sa akin sa pagsasalita pa.

I quickly raised my hand and immediately wiped the incoming tears with the back of my palm as I took in a deep breath.

"If ever I wanted a child, I would rather pick someone whom I have a special connection with! Who I can and willingly marry just to have a happy family for my future child!" I paused when my breath hitched. "I would've chosen someone else, unlike you, who still doubts me even though you know to yourself, that you are the only one I slept with."

"Imo, don't react so offensive. I'm just making sure. If you were in my position, you would think to do this too," sabat nito.

I violently scoffed. "Then, make sure of it! I would gladly let you have a DNA test when it's already out! You can even take one even if it's still in my womb, if you are that desperate," I said, daring him. "But, just remember, that I know, to myself, that I am not and will never lie about this kind of topic," madiin ko pang dagdag.

Agad ko itong tinalikuran at saka dire-diretsong naglakad palabas ng kaniyang opisina. Nang ako'y makalabas ay sinalubong ako ng sekretarya nito na halatang nababahala sa narinig na sigawan sa loob ng opisina.

Ramdam na ramdam ko ang nakasunod na maamo nitong tingin sa akin ngunit hindi ko ito tinignan pabalik pa. I tried my best to avoid her gaze. I don't want her to see how close I am to crying right now.

Malalakas ang tunog ng takong ng aking sapatos na humahampas sa marmol na sahig ay dire-diretso akong pumasok sa loob ng elevator. I immediately pushed the button to the first floor as I turned my back on the entrance of the elevator.
